The Crystalpunk Softscreen

Wilfired has posted a list of reports and reviews of the Crystalpunk Workshop for Soft Architecture over at socialfiction’s ‘stream of consciousness’. There were a couple of soft encapsulations of the punk meme completed towards the end of the workshop worth highlighting. The Crystalpunk Softscreen from Ursula Lavrenčič and Auke Touwslager is a flexible projection surface made out of paper, animated by airflow corresponding to the movement of Crystalpunks in and through the Crystalpunk room. Wi-R-Crystals, which utilises Proce55ing and Wiring, is a visualisation of the crystallisations of human activity.

‘The installation is a setup of 36 wires that fall down from the ceiling to touch a conductive (5V) board. Each wire is connected to a Wiring board. If the contact of a wire with the conductive board is broken by a person, this triggers the building of a cube in a Processing. Every half second a visual output is given in the form of a series of cubes. Like this, huge structures are built’
